Benefits of Floating Solar Power Generation

 Regardless of the land price  Cooling effect by low water temperature

 Using idle water surface owned by the Gov’t  Reflection and distraction on the water surface

 Solving civil complaints  Increased efficiency about 10% (source: K-Water)

 Minimizing the destruction of natural green  New demands in solar and composite materials
 Excellent results in algae prevention  Job creation in maintenance field in rural areas
 Eco-friendly structure  Artificial islands, natural learning etc. creation
(ex. Spawn for underwater creatures)
 Core Technology of Floating Solar Systems
 Conventional solar power generation on land is expanded to water surface.

 Floating technology is added up to the existing solar power technology.

 Requires technical capability to secure structural stability and durability on the water up to 20 years.

Mooring System
 Multiple auxiliary floating bodies

 Uses multiple auxiliary floating bodies.

 Uses multiple auxiliary weights.
 Operated solely by the gravity of auxiliary
weights without any mechanical system.
 Suitable for sites with deep water and big
difference in water level.

 Auxiliary mooring structure

 Auxiliary
weights and mooring anchors are
connected through mooring lines.
 Indirect
areas are reduced through auxiliary
structures.
 Operatedsolely by the gravity of auxiliary
weights without any mechanical system.
 Suitablefor sites with deep water and big
difference in water level.
